fish oil

Can't sleep. Could have something to do with spending 70% of three consecutive days in bed. I can breathe, though -- through my nose, even -- so I'm not complaining.

There are about 603 different forms of fish oil, which may or may not alleviate melancholia, available at Whole Foods. Most of them are offensively, I'll-squeeze-the-damn-fish-myself expensive. I skipped the $60 jar, the $40 jar, and so on, until I found the ugly, generic, $16 jar of gargantuan fish oil gelcaps.

These particular horse-sized pills have 180mg EPA each, and 120mg of some other magical fish molecule that gives you disgusting burps. I didn't notice it at first, but now I see they also contain concentrated garlic extract. Well, if that doesn't take the pressure off. Tom Selleck couldn't score if he ate these.

The "winning" subjects in the study I skimmed were getting 1 gram of ethyl-eicosapentaenoate a day. That's six horse pills. I'll leave a slick, flammable trail of garlic-scented oil everywhere I go. Someone drops a cigarette, and *FOOF*, I'm an hors d'oeuvre.
